Interview
I did my interview at one of the head office and this went quite well. I was not applyiong for a senior management job so I just have to demonstrate my ability to work as a team and being customer focussed
I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Kilmarnock, Scotland) in Mar 2012
Interview
Requested an application from from the desk(these are now phased out everything is online). The application from is very standard except a psychometric test on the back - This part is very important as there is a set of answers being looked for. Many employees used a friend to get the cheat sheet.
Was contacted by phone within 2 days of handing the form in and requested to an interview
Interview was nothing special, there are set questions they ask.
Post interview i was contacted by phone the next day and offered a start date.
Possibly the easiest hiring process i have ever experienced.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesco (Halesowen, Engeland) in Jul 2010
Interview
Simple hiring process: Handed in to the store my Tesco application form (now has been replaced by a standard CV requirement) which I had printed from the careers website.
Interview request came back several days later. The interview was simple assessing competencies and a small amount of time was spent trying to understand me as a character. The interview lasted 20 minutes maximum.
Before I was offered the job I was asked to shadow an employee for 20 minutes to gain a very small taste of there day to day work and check I was still interested, once I had confirmed that I was I was asked to start the following week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The competencies required 2 examples in several cases and this threw me but after some mild prompting I came up with the examples.
